Man, my stomach can't take this "Shaw is such an idiot!?!? Why doesn't he bench Nunes?!??!" to "OMG! Shaw is a coaching genius! Who's gonna poach him?!?!"
Sarcasm aside. I think Shaw stays for awhile. I don't see him leaving for another college coaching job. There are only a handful of platforms even with the necessary conditions to challenge Nick Saban's machine, and I don't see any of them as sufficient. You need a completely different animal (punctuated equilibrium) to beat Alabama. And I think 2 of them reside in the Pac-12. One is Chip Kelly. The other, believe it or not, is Stanford with its ability to field smart and mentally tough players running more complex schemes on both sides of the ball.
